Kinktober 2023 Day 30-Free Use/Overstimulation/Cuddling

The Ghost and Molly McGee-Mollie, Molly/OCs, Ollie/OCs

It's Halloween night at Gentlelads' and Molly and Ollie are open up… to everybody

written for @kinktober2023

requested by @ramdomaxes

Warning the following story contains fictional minors in sexual situations. If this makes you uncomfortable or are under 18 please do not read. This story is rated E for explicit and is for adults only. This story is a complete work of fiction.

It was Halloween and Gentlelad's was having a blowout. Molly and Ollie had agreed to do a reverse-glory hole for the night. The couple met in the back and stripped down on their birthday suits.

"Looking good Chen," Molly said, admiring her boyfriend's bare ass.

"Not so bad yourself McGee." He gave her ass a playful slap. She giggled in response.

At thirteen, neither of them had grown body hair yet. Both were as smooth as a baby's bottom. Molly's chest was barely there enough to justify the training bra she wore. Her nipples were a delicious dark brown. Ollie little Ollie was actually a decent size and uncut to boot. Andrea walked in wearing a slutty cat costume, complete with tail buttplug.

"Thank you so much for doing this," She told the nude couple.

"Always happy to help," Molly replied back.

Andrea pointed to two holes in the wall. "We're gonna set you up here. Darryl and I will be taking tickets, making sure you guys each get one customer at a time." She clapped her hands together. "Alright, let's get you guys locked in."

Laying down on their backs, Molly and Ollie got on the small tables. The tops were of course cushioned. Their legs were hiked up; they were fitted into the holes. Both their butts and genitals were exposed on the other side of the wall. The two were surprised with how close they were together. They could easily touch each other. Molly reached out and bumped her arm to his. He took her hand and their fingers intertwined.

After a few moments, they heard two pairs of footsteps. One for Ollie and one for Molly, perfect. The shuffling of feet stopped. Molly gasped as a pair of fingers penetrated her slit. Beside her Ollie grunted as someone played with his cock. Once Ollie got hard, he felt a pair of pussy lips envelop him. Next to him, Molly felt the fingers replaced by dick. After a bit of thrusting on both ends, the customers came and left.

“Woo, that was cra-zy,” Molly said.

“Yeah, that was-” Ollie was interrupted by the sound of more people entering.

“Isn’t this a little soon?” Molly asked.

Any further questions were cut off by another cock in her pussy. Next to her Ollie was dealing with his first cock up his ass. After the second creampie, Molly was annoyed.

“Okay, I don’t think that's how it’s supposed to goOOOO!” Molly got a fresh new cock up her butt while a second person licked her sex. Someone new was riding Ollie’s cock. “Okay, okay this is way too much.” Molly knocked against the wall. “Darryl?! Darryl?”

Darryl, meanwhile, was counting the money he was getting from letting the customers in en masse. “100, 200, 300.” He was sitting at a stool, no pants, with June sucking his dick. Next to him, Andrea had a pantless Libby bent in front of her, and armed with a strap-on was eagerly thrusting into her.

Back in the room, Molly was taking her tenth cock. She reached out for Ollie and put her hand on his chest. Ollie, who was struggling with his own fuckfest, looked at her and smiled. He reached out and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She did the same. They held each other close, which wasn’t the most comfortable thing considering the bottoms were locked in, but it was nice to feel the touch of someone familiar.

Ollie smiled, Molly’s chest felt warm and nice. And he could feel her heartbeat. It was a nice distraction as he felt more cum hit his buttocks. “Are you doing alright?”

“Nggg, I've been better,” Molly said, feeling another orgasm shake her body. “You feel nice though.”

“You too.”

The two held each other, cuddling and snuggling their bodies together. As a barrage of unfamiliar lips, fingers, dicks, and pussies made the two cum again and again; they found solace in each other's touches.

The orgasms shook the 13-year-old’s to their core. They held each other close, their hearts beating in their chest. One final orgasm tore through them; a tongue swirling around Molly's punished clit and a large cock massaging Ollie’s prostate. With one final scream the night was over.

The two laid there trying to catch their breaths. Their behinds were coated and dripping with several different bodily fluids. Their genitals were red and sore. Andrea and Darryl rushed in to free the two.

“Oh my gosh, we’re so sorry.”

Cum dripping off her naked butt, Molly said, “What the heck guys!”

“They just kept giving me money,” Darryl said. “I got lost in the moolah.”

Andrea said, “And I got distracted.” Libby wobbled into the room behind her.

“It’s fine. Forgive and forget I say,” Molly said.

“You want a cut of the cash,” Darryl said.

“I want a cut of the cash,” Molly said.

Happy nice ask day! Here's some lone star questions for you!

Suprise, Tim Minear has put you in charge of LS! (In a perfect world where everyone gets paid a fair wage for their work.) What's next for Tarlos besides the Gabriel of it all?

If you could bring one past character back, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

You get to do a crossover with *any* other show, past or present, what show would it be?

Pick a special episode: Valentines day ep, Halloween ep, Christmas ep, musical ep, animated ep, AU ep (like Mateo's sitcom dream)

You get to delete one thing from the show's history without messing anything up, what do you get rid of?

Pick a celebrity guest star. What would their role be?

Firefighter TK or paramedic TK?

For Carlos: Officer Reyes, Ranger Reyes, or something completely different non law enforcement

Flashback episode for TK's life in NYC (pre Alex), or a flashback episode of young Carlos growing up on the ranch (including his friendship with Iris)

A (new) work partner for Carlos or a new recruit at the firehouse?

Buttercup or Lou II?

TK's cousins or Carlos' sisters?

Andrea calling TK mijo or Owen calling Carlos son?

Reyes-Strand or Strand-Reyes?

If/when you've answered all of these, pass them on to others in the fandom, let's see everyone's answers!

Oh my god, I love these! Thanks for sending it to me @sugdenlovesdingle!

1. On one hand, I just want them to be happy and soft because they deserve it. On the other hand, I know that doesn’t make for compelling TV. So in addition to the Gabriel thing, I’d probably have Carlos develop an addiction of his own. Maybe it’s like, stimulants because he’s putting so much time and effort into finding who killed his father. But TK is in denial for the longest time because Carlos would never do that, and once he realizes that he’s wrong, it puts TK’s own recovery to the test getting Carlos the help he needs, but he pulls through and gets Carlos on the path to recovery as well. I know, I’m terrible, I’m sorry.

2. Either Julius to make Tommy’s life with Trevor very complicated, or Billy because I can’t help it, I love Billy. Or Alex trying to win TK back, just so I can watch Carlos could punch him out.

3. If it wasn’t for the identical cousin storyline Mateo had, I thought it would’ve been absolutely hilarious if they did House crossover and Owen’s other ex-wife was Lisa Cuddy, also played by Lisa Edelstein. But since they already did this kind of with Mateo, I’m going to be boring and say another 911 crossover would be cool. More of TK clocking Buck from a mile away and Eddie conveniently entering the scene immediately after, please and thanks, because that was so funny.

4. A Halloween episode for sure. I hate to say anything nice ever about Riverdale, but I loved the “3 different vignettes in one” episodes they’d do, especially the one in season 2. I think it would be REALLY cool to do something like that, where we have one story with Carlos investigating Gabriel’s murder solo and things get creepy, and then another story of the 126 showing up to a call except it’s to an abandoned asylum or something and they find out no one actually called (it’s like a ghost call), and then a third story of maybe Grace and the Wyatt and Charlie having a Halloween night in but it goes very “The Strangers” on them and someone is trying to break into their house but it’s really just like Judd’s daddy or someone totally innocuous.

5. A part of me wants to say the absolute blatant rip off of the Gabby Petito case, but I love Marjan centric episodes and there are not enough of them. So uh… probably the Owen stalker storyline. I don’t need more of Rob Lowe stroking his own ego on my screen.

6. Either Jensen Ackles or Timothy Olyphant as the new like, lead Texas Ranger. Basically taking over Gabriel’s position. And he would either a) be really keen on working with Carlos to help solve the murder because he has history with Gabriel or b) is behind the murder of Gabriel. Or both!

7. Ugh, this is so hard. I love both! I think he’s happier as a paramedic, but I wish he’d have more to do than drop the “BP is whatever over whatever, Cap!” line. Plus, I miss the little rivalry between him and Carlos when TK was AFD. I think I like him better as a firefighter, but I’m good with either.

8. REYES, TEXAS RANGER. I really wanted Detective Reyes, but I totally respect Carlos’s want to save people rather than figure out the case after the damage has been done. That being said, I kind of have a sneaking suspicion that a fellow ranger did Gabriel in, and I feel like Carlos will both NEED to get into the rangers to figure that piece out, and will WANT to next season to honor his father. Also, Team Carlos in a Cowboy Hat.

9. A Carlos flashback if I had to pick. IDK, I feel like TK has a lot of episodes that kind of center his trauma, so we know a LOT about TK, and less about Carlos. So it’d be nice to see more of his story, pre-TK.

10. A new partner for Carlos. You know… because he becomes a ranger… bonus if it causes a little bit of tension between him and TK like Cooper did! (I like the angst, I can’t help it)

11. Lou II! I love reptiles and TK being a lizard boy and Carlos being sketched out by them… all of it is adorable.

12. I’m gonna say Carlos’s sisters, just because I don’t think we’ll see much of TK’s cousins going forward unless Sydney decides to come after Owen for assisted suicide. Which would not surprise me in the least.

13. Andrea calling TK mijo. I just love it so much!

14. Reyes-Strand. I like the flow of Tyler Kennedy Reyes-Strand and Carlos Tomas Reyes-Strand better than Strand-Reyes.

Happy nice ask weekend, I'm here to annoy (affectionate) you with some lone star questions!

Suprise, Tim Minear has put you in charge of LS! (In a perfect world where everyone gets paid a fair wage for their work.) What's next for Tarlos besides the Gabriel of it all?

If you could bring one past character back, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Pick a celebrity guest star. What would their role be?

Firefighter TK or paramedic TK?

For Carlos: Officer Reyes, Detective Reyes, Ranger Reyes, or something completely different (non law enforcement?)

Flashback episode for TK's life in NYC (pre Alex), or a flashback episode of young Carlos growing up on the ranch (including his friendship with Iris)

A (new) work partner for Carlos or a new recruit at the firehouse?

Buttercup or Lou II?

TK's cousins or Carlos' sisters?

Andrea calling TK mijo or Owen calling Carlos son?

Reyes-Strand or Strand-Reyes?

Hi, thanks for the ask. This is a lot of questions and I’m avoiding watching the mariners suck, so this will help the annoyance of them losing so early in the game.

If I was in charge of 911 Lonestar I would do so many things with the characters that aren’t used as much and would make it less the Rob Lowe show. An ensemble instead, like it should be.

What’s next for Tarlos: being a family just the two of them before they decide to have kids. Figure out how they want to be a family before they add too it.

Some one I’d bring back alive or dead? I’d bring Iris back, I really liked the character, she was very interesting and we didn’t get enough of her.

Crossover: I’m not sure, maybe Third Watch. That was a good show about paramedics and cops and I think firefighters.

Special episode: Valentine’s Day would be fun for all the characters.

Change 1 thing: either Charles doesn’t die, but is still quite sick or Judd’s son doesn’t become paralyzed.

Celebrity guest star: that’s so hard. Emilio Estevez, I think. Rob and Emilio have been best friends since they were teens. Maybe he could be a firefighter from New York that he’s been friends with and is TK’s god father

Paramedic TK, I really like that for him

Detective Reyes, I think that would be a cool role for him

Flashback to young Carlos. I’d like that. I want to meet his whole family

New recruits to the firehouse please

Buttercup

I want to meet Carlos’s sisters

Andrea

Either or, no real preference

I’d really like for Matteo and Nancy to have more screen time

I want more Grace and Judd and I want Judd’s son to get better and not live with them, plus more Charlie. Less Owen at all times.

Maybe bring TK’s step dad and his half brother to visit.

You smell like love

Adnowledgements: Thanks to my artist @chaotictarlos and my great betas @lire-casander @morganaspendragonss

This chapter was inspired by @tarlosweeklyprompts.

Prompt #2: TK and Carlos carving pumpkins together.

Chapter 11

Halloween was near and for TK it was one of the big celebrations of the year, while Carlos had not grown up with the tradition, so, TK had said, he had a lot of work to do to teach him everything that could be done in those days.

Fortunately, Carlos had a good time picking out costumes, plus now that The Lord of the Rings, Elf costumes and all things fantasy related were in fashion again, Carlos soon found the perfect elf paladin costume and was able to spend the whole afternoon telling TK why it was better to choose light chainmail and a bo, rather than a bow.

Not that TK understood much, but he enjoyed discussing the topic with his boyfriend and above all was happy to see him laughing and making jokes. These months were especially hard and complicated for both of them; if TK was scared and didn't know what was happening every day with his body, Carlos was always by his side, just as scared and worried, but without knowing how to help.

So having a few normal days, like the rest of the people, planning Halloween and then preparing for Christmas, was the best thing that they could do.

TK had it all planned out, as long as his body would allow it, and the local market was starting to sell pumpkins. They had all kinds, colors and sizes and TK wanted... He didn't know exactly which ones he wanted to buy but they had to be perfect, because it was a special year. It was the last Halloween before the birth of the twins, which would change everything.

They decided to spend the morning there, they ate at the new vegan food stand that Owen had recommended. Now TK was not allowed to eat red meat and they had to control their cholesterol a little more than usual, eating that hamburger that had no meat in it but had the same taste was an immense pleasure.

They went shopping; since Christmas was near, they decided to buy some gifts, especially for Andrea. Carlos was desperate over not knowing what to buy his mother every year. She liked handmade things but then she had a very specific taste.

"She’s similar to my father in that. No books or clothes, my dad is always obsessed with how bad all the synthetic fabrics are and stuff like that."

They wandered around the market a couple of times and it was big enough and had enough stores that, by lunchtime, TK was already tired and his legs were starting to ache, plus his ankles and feet were almost screaming.

Finding the restaurant and stopping for almost a couple of hours to eat was the best feeling in the world for TK.

He was uncomfortable with people's stares. He was approaching the seventh month of a twin pregnancy and no one would be able to hide it. He felt like he had an arrow over his head so that everyone would stare at him as he passed by.

"They’re staring because they’re jealous of you," Carlos told him, moving to sit down next to TK. "Have you seen how those four women are looking at you? You're almost seven months pregnant and you're still just as handsome." He leaned closer to his ear and wrapped his arms around his waist. "I can't wait to go home and lay you down on the bed, gently that is...to fuck you all afternoon."

TK gasped at that and blushed — pregnancy didn't allow him to hide his emotions much.

"Carlos..."

"I'm serious." Carlos gave him a kiss on the cheek. "You’re releasing so many pheromones that any alpha or beta around you would be happy to get close to you.I'm lucky that you're mine."

"Stop exaggerating, babe."

My Other Fanfics in the Future

Well, I made announcements about my 2 Loonatics fanfics-related stories coming soon. So here are my other fanfics that I am making. But before I am going to show you my other fanfics, I like to share what most of them are like. Kervinverse related. If you checked my Tumblr header it's pretty obvious.

As you may wonder what is the Kervinverse is all about? The Kervinverse is like the multiverse but with all different kinds of Kervin. Inspired by Spiderman Into the Spiderverse all the versions of Kervin contained different personalities, stories, almost the same appearance, fighting styles, and special abilities. One of the most signature outfits is the black and red formal suit.

I already made a folder in toyhouse. However, most of it are unfinished and still ongoing.

https://toyhou.se/Kervin619/characters/folder:812137

People think that those stories a self-insert but it is actually not. Me and my other Kervins are the same but they are different the appearance, abilities, and personalities. An example is Denk Ops’s Chris Danger from the WWE games. And note that this is another long announcement for the other fanfics

So anyway, here are my Kervinverse stories that I would really like to share about Wattpad in the future. So are book covers later

KERVINVERSE STORIES (Including crossovers):

Grand Theft Auto Origins: Kervin Made Liberty – Set in the GTA HD Universe. Before Kervin (GTA Online) came to the place called San Andreas, he was just a very young boy who was born in the place called Liberty with his parents. His father Claude who became rich and retired to a life crime and his wife Misty who used to be a prostitute. It was normal and happy life for him and his parents. But when years passed when he is getting older, he slowly starts to realize what kind of broken world he is living in.

Now for those who played the HD Universe of the GTA Games you know every protagonist in the HD universe like Niko, Johnny, Luis, Michael Franklin, and Trevor. As much as they have different stories and perspectives but this story about GTA OC that he was living with full of offensiveness, disrespectfulness, brutal honesty, and others. An example in GTA IV a radio commercial of Babies Overnight that said that someone was not satisfied with the baby it can be disposed of. Although it would be interesting to have that backstory for my next OC for GTA. So, this story may contain a lot of murder and crimes on what led to him going to San Andreas. So, watch out. And for those who have not played GTA Online why his parents are both Claude and Misty is because it was part of the premium edition for free in Epic Games.

Def Jam X Kung Fu Panda: Book 1 Fight for A New Fight (maybe a working title) - After the events of Def Jam Vendetta, Fight For New York, and The Kung Fu Panda Trilogy including Legends of Awesomeness. Set during Paws of Destiny Season 2 in the Kung Fu Panda universe while in Def Jam 2 years later in the year 2005 after Crow's death (Fight for NY still takes place in 2003) Kervin (Def Jam Fight For NY) the new leader D-Mob's crew but also officially known as the Def Jam Crew after Blaze appointed him to take his place. Kervin has to manage every venue, club, and arenas in New York including places that Crow took over. But in Chinese New Year there was something strange that Kervin and his crew got transported to a different universe. Including former members, fighters, and circuit fighters.

Now, this fanfiction sounded really odd. As you may know why I am making crossover fanfic of Kung Fu Panda X Def Jam? Easy. The first one is because this is what would have been my PS2 games if I ever have a PS2. I was thinking of Mortal Kombat or Yakuza for Def Jam but Kung Fu Panda is the only thing I know when I was 7 years old. The second is because back in the days Hip Hop mixed with Kung Fu was very popular. Although Def jam may be a wrestling game martial arts stole my heart in Def Jam Fight For NY. I heard about things like the Wu-Tang Clan for example but the biggest problem for me is that I am not a true fan of Def Jam because I don’t know about hip hop artists. Just only the games so I will be focusing on their video game counterparts in their fictitious manner meaning pretending real-life characters with their real name are fictional characters. So, if there and fun facts in those real-life counterparts I may add them to it like easter eggs. The third is that there are Kung Fu Panda characters that did not get enough love and mostly art. So many recognizable characters like Po, Tigress, Tai Lung, and many more have become the most recognizable characters in the movies. But what about the tv shows like Legends of Awesomeness and Paws of Destiny? One of my favorite characters of Legends of Awesomeness is Peng, in short, he is the nephew of Tai Lung and he is such an interesting character that he deserves a lot more love. While for Paws of Destiny is Xiao because she is such a cute character, so is her personality and the best character to have hugs with. So, what I am trying to say is that I need to start off with the character that is unrecognizable then bring it recognizably. I may also add characters from shorts like student Mei Ling in the future book and it would be funny and to see rogue Mei Ling. 2 Mei Lings in one. Even Su and Master Snow Leopard because are both female leopards with the same appearance and outfit. I may also include some characters from the flash game Tales of Po and may possibly rewrite them in different stories because I love the character designs thanks to Blue Maxima’s FlashPoint. And the fourth and final part is that to make the Def jam games more recognizable. Def Jam in music is not absolutely enough but video games are. The Def Jam games did not bring a sequel after Fight For NY so I might as well make a sequel with interesting and experimental crossover fanfic just like The Loonatics Road.

The Red Fox (Kingdom Force Spinoff and maybe a working title) - The Kingdom Force has 5 members defending the 5 Kingdoms. Luka the wolf who leads in red, Jabari who runs in yellow, TJ who drills in green, Delilah who swings in orange, and Norvyn who strengthens in blue. Each of the 5 drives Kingdom Riders and turns them into Alpha Mech to fight against evil in the 5 Kingdoms. But even if they save the day multiple times the 5 Kingdoms are still filled with more crime and every antagonist came back doing other crimes and evil deeds because they were not arrested or eliminated. That's is when a red fox came along...

I have seen popular fandoms in cartoons that were supposed to aim at younger kids like Lion Guard, MLP, Paw Patrol, and even Bluey. But Kingdom Force is the cartoon that did get enough love. It's like Power Rangers and Voltron but with anthropomorphic animals like Zootopia. However, the stories and episodes in the show is very confusing and give me almost a lot of questions. But I do like the character designs in the show. My favorite hero is Luka who is a leader with and cute cuddly character personality and my favorite villain Envie Fernadez which she has a pretty hot design, name and voice and so is her personality. Reminds me of Sly Cooper but I have not played the game yet. But for the red fox also OC Kervin (Kindom Force) It’s still at work.

APB Reloaded X Zootopia: Anyone Can Be All You Can’t Be: - In Zootopia “Anyone Can Be Anything” But in San Paro “Be All You Can’t Be” Zootopia is a place where vicious predators and meek prey live in harmony. This means that people in Zootopia live together without the prey getting eaten by predators and predators not getting feared by the prey. They almost eat like us, they sleep like us, they speak like us, they walk like us, they run like us, they bathe like us (well almost), and most importantly they use technology like us. While San Paro maybe has a good look to sightsee but this city has a lot of crime. Robberies, bombings, thefts, drug dealing, murders and causalities, vandalism, and much more that we can think of. But that does not mean there is no justice in this world. When the Criminals like the Blood Roses and the G-Kings try to take over San Paro? The Enforcers Prentiss Tigers and Praetorians from come and save the day. What would happen when a human Enforcer meets a police fox and a police bunny? And how did it happen? Only one way to find out.

Now this one is also a Kervinverse crossover story. It focuses on Kervin (APB Reloaded) meeting Judy and Nick. I am trying to find a way on how will they meet each other. But the only thing ideas I know is that it can be a delivery gone wrong, an invention gone haywire or maybe a criminal stole something magical that is transported to a different universe. But I have a lot of strange things in the game like the Christmas events and Halloween events. I like to see any volunteers who play APB Reloaded. And for those Zootopia fans who have not played APB Reloaded you check it here. https://store.steampowered.com/app/113400/APB_Reloaded/

Well, that is it for the Kervinverse stories. Now it’s time for the other stories that I also planned in the future.

OTHER FANFICS:

Alza Flare (Road Rovers Fan Spinoff)- Alza is a black cat born in the place in New York City, USA. He was born inside a pet shop without cat parents since he was born. His parents' status is unknown. Although he did make friends with other cats and non-cats in the shop. But it was a short while until a human customer named Drayson Flare and adopted him as Alza Flare. Alza has been Drayson's pet for 3 years and they instantly became best friends but when during the time when they are about to go home from the park. A terrible accident happened.

A long time ago I watched Road Rovers on my phone just to try something nostalgic and the show is pretty good though although there are some parts that don’t use their powers all the time. One part that caught my eye is how brutal car accident in the episode “Dawn of The Groomer” which gave me an idea of my new anti-villain OC character named Alza Flare. Sadly, he does have an image of him yet. But I will tell you that I will give you an interesting revenge story for him.

The Best Surfer In The World (Surf’s Up Spinoff. Maybe a working a title and synopsis change) - After the events of Surf's Up and Surf's Up 2: Wavemania. There was once a wolf who lives in the place of Chicago Illinois. He quit his own career due to being a rejected member of Hang 5 for being too unstable and after beating J.C. in a tournament years ago and after his early retirement, he spends his normal life as an ice cream man in his own ice-cream motorcycle with one of his own freshest ingredients and swears to himself that he would never in the waters again. Until he met a young Toyger.

Surf’s Up is my first favorite mockumentaries since I was young. It’s like you are watching animals andromorphic animals absolutely existed in the world we live in. It had an interesting story and writing so are the interesting characters. But when I watched Surf’s Up Wavemania. Well, I honestly love the WWE Superstars and Diva came into the movie but the story did not actually surprise me a lot. Even if the movie has a lot of beautiful locations it still did not surprise me enough because it is more like an adventure than a tournament. That is why I am planning to start my fanfiction in a new different approach with a real story and a real rivalry. Starting with wolf inspired and based on CM Punk during the part when he won the WWE belt against Cena in Money in the Bank when I watched it since intermediate school with a little rename change so it won’t be obvious. And of course, my Toyger OC because he would be trained by his own surfing master. Also, I added a Slam City easter egg

Fire Pro Wrestling World Origins: Story of 2 Angels – There is no synopsis of them yet. But I will tell you they are brother and sister with the last name “Angel” The brother who is a pop artist while the sister who joined a motorcycle club. What they both have in common is they both can fight. Their stories about my 2 new Fire Pro OCs will be coming soon. But they are not part of the fighting roads.

Well, that is all for all the future stories with some summaries that I really want to share coming soon. Thanks for following including Wattpad

For those who are new here follow me on both Tumblr and Wattpad with the orange word link

Feel free to donate to me in PayPal

Also making fanfic is really long to make just like making an announcement. So again. I only post all chapters in 1 book.

@cinderamethyst

Hi so i don’t really know what to say, so i’m just gonna fill out your little questions you asked on your profile to do a ship and if you have any more questions feel free to ask! 1. Star sign is Cancer. 2. Favorite movie would have to be any Halloween movie or Friday the 13th. 3. I am 100% fully introverted, but around the right people i can be very extroverted. 4. I guess a talent/skill i would have would have to be Ballet or playing the Cello. 5. Favorite book would probably be The Nightshade Series by Andrea Cremer 6. My go to song when i need a pick me up would have to be You Should be Sad by Halsey 7. Sweet 100% 8. Favorite clothing item would have to be any cardigan i own, i absolutely love cardigans. 9. I have a cat named Aly, i have had her since i was 13 and i am 24 now. I love her to the moon and back, she is my everything. She’s a tortoise shell cat, so she’s beautiful in every way and she’s my little baby. 10. My ideal date would probably be way too simple for some, but just getting my favorite food, maybe some browsing around a mall, go see a movie. Any of those, or all in the same day. Just make a day out of it. Overall i would say i’m a very sensitive person, very loving and trusting, i feel way too much. I love life, and hate it all at the same time. I’m happy and sad all at the same time. I’m just your average person trying to find their place in this crazy world we live in. I only have one best friend, i have a boyfriend whom i want to ring his neck most of the time. I have the most beautiful daughter who is my entire world. My life is full of work, daughter and sleep with very little room for fun. I don’t consider myself all that great of a person. But i do my best. Ty in advance for the ship!

Hey there, lovely!

❤: First of all, I loved reading this. I love how much you opened up. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us! You sound incredibly talented, like ballet and the cello? Both of those things are very impressive. Not to mention, you sound like such a loving parent, not just to your daughter but to your cat as well! It seems like you have so much love to give.

Ship: Jake

Because: I think Jake would be a nice calming presence in your life. And I don't think your ideal date would be too boring for him. I think it would be exactly the type of calm night he would love. Although he could probably make any night special, to be honest. I can see your cat instantly adoring him. Sometimes it takes pets a while to warm up to the new people in our lives but I think it would be pretty instant. And he would be so sweet with your daughter too; I mean, he's so sweet with everyone. I think Jake would be really good at making you feel special in between all of the work and chaos of being a parent. He would help you slow down. He'd steal your cardigans. He'd bring home a cello out of the blue and insist you play for him. He'd put up with a night of Halloween movies just for you. And you would definitely be his muse.

Scenario:

By the time your daughter was tucked away in bed asleep, you were exhausted

You hadn't even had time for dinner since you had worked late and now the thought of cooking something for yourself felt astronomical

Instead, you opted for a quick bowl of cereal. It wasn't exactly appetizing but the minimal effort it required was all too appealing tonight

As you began to gather the bowl and milk and spoon, there was a knock on your door

Abandoning your task with a sigh, you couldn't ever manage to get anything done, you trudged over to the door and flung it open with a bit more frustration than you had intended

Much to your surprise, it was Jake, a large takeout bag in hand and a bottle of wine balancing under his arm

"I figured you hadn't eaten anything yet so I got dinner," he said with something of an apologetic smile, likely due to your demeanor when opening the door

Instantly, the tension in your shoulders and neck seemed to wane and you gave him a relieved smile that told him you were glad to see him

This was a much better alternative to cereal

You let Jake in and he set the takeout down at the small table tucked away in your kitchen

You pulled two wine glasses out of the cupboard and sat down to join him at the table

He gave you a somewhat heavy pour which you were not ungrateful for

"It seems like you've had a long day," he said as he reached for you and used his thumb to swipe gently along your cheek

You sighed and reveled in his touch

Lately every day was a long day

He let you eat and sip on your wine mostly in silence as you were finally able to unwind from work, thankful for a hot meal but still exhausted from the day

Once you had finished, he took the opportunity to pull you into his lap

He used his hand to push your hair out of your face and behind your ear

He let his hand linger along your jaw as he stared up at you, seemingly mesmerized by the view

"You're a superhero, you know that?" he asked gently

You chuckled lightly, rolling your eyes a bit at his comment

"No, I mean it," he continued. "You do everything. You are everything"

His palm still cupping your jaw, you leaned into his touch and into his compliment all at once

You were so thankful to have him

He brought his mouth to yours in a sweet kiss before lifting you off of him and leading you to the couch where he instructed you to put on a movie that you'd want to fall asleep to

He let you take up most of the couch, sitting on the cushion at the end so he could rub your feet while you dozed off to the movie you had chosen, letting your mind linger on his touch and his warmth

He was everything, too

I hope you liked it! Thank you for the request!

List which 5 TV shows make you feel better then tag 10 other blogs.

Tagged by @andrea-lyn (thank you!)

Elementary - SNOW ANGELS. i can rewatch that episode, they solve a robbery in a snow storm. it’s such a character driven show. like found family and competency porn all in a mystery solving show that doesn’t spend the whole show brutalizing a victim. the show ends well and gosh is such a satisfying watch

Leverage - i can’t remember how i discovered leverage. because like i didn't have cable and gosh if you love heists and shenanigans as much as i do, then leverage will make you so happy and it’s another character driven show and ends so well. My fav episode is Juror #6 and just chef’s kiss

Futurama - the first 4 seasons then the rest is a bit hit or miss and I curate my watches from the newer seasons but like the commentaries, the jokes, the fact that i still quote episodes in my daily life and no one gets it, everything and WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY, GOODNIGHT

Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23 - like this show is so indulgent to a female character in a way that usually is only given to male characters. Like the closest approximation i can come to is if Ted and Barney were women and shared an apartment? but that is even a poor comparison because June and Chloe are just so much better. James Van Der Beek plays a pastiche of his own self.

Better Off Ted: probably the only satire on working in a multinational corporation that is part mad science and 100% accurate of corporate life. and it’s the closest i have seen to a show talking about my daily life as an engineer

Honorary mentions to Gravity Falls because I watch it before I go to bed and like Boss Mabel is my fav episode. & Community because like i watched the halloween episodes again and they are great.

@ifeelbetterer, @lavenderek, @sophielostandfound, @alyseofwonderland @new-shoes-potter, @grandpa-cat, @halffizzbin, @callahaa and @pantstomatch

Diary of a Junebug

A spooky midnight feast

What a long night - and I mean that in a good way! First the theatre, now it's the Spooky Moon Festival. We just enjoyed a spooky midnight feast hosted by Jack to kick off the festivities.

A couple days ago we visited Peace Coast Island to see Marlo and Don. Marlo’s an old friend from Rosevine who left home about six years ago to become an actress in New York City. Not too long after moving there, Marlo met Don, a journalist for News Times, and as of last year they became engaged.

Marlo is who some would consider a starving artist. While she has appeared in numerous commercials, soap operas, and stage shows, Marlo hasn't gotten her big break yet. She has always managed to get by with odd jobs in between sporadic gigs but it sometimes seems like she gets the short end of the stick. It's a shame because she really is a talented and versatile actress.

But it looks like Marlo's finally gonna get her big break with Sugar and Spice, a brand new musical comedy drama that just made its debut at Starlight Theatre. The show played for two weeks there and the next stop will be Port Beacon, followed by Etienne Falls, Glassenwick, Cabot Bridge, and Petunia. This isn't the first time Marlo's gone on tour for a brand new show, but in past experiences, the show turns out to be a bomb and the tour closes early. Though based on the reviews for Sugar and Spice so far - as well as my own thoughts on it - we have high hopes!

Tagging along with Marlo for the first leg of the tour is Don. Since Marlo went off on her first tour, Don has been tagging along to write a review for the show, so he gets work done and gets to spend some time with Marlo - a win-win situation for both. However, if the tour goes on for the full twelve weeks - or more if things go really well - that's gonna be the longest time the two have been apart from each other.

Instead of heading back to New York, Don's gonna be staying at the camp for a while. He's gonna write an article about the Spooky Moon Festival, which he plans to finish tomorrow to get that out of the way. Marlo was the one who suggested that he take some extra days off by visiting the camp to get his mind off things. It's so sweet how much they're gonna miss each other while Marlo's away.

I've met Don a handful of times since he and Marlo started dating. They're a sweet couple, like a comedic duo with Marlo being the funny one while Don's the straight one - they play off each other super well. Anyone who can keep up with Marlo's antics while having a great sense of humor is a winner. I can't wait for the day when they finally get married!

Considering how long they've been together, it was hard to believe that they almost broke up last year. Don spoke about the near breakup when he and Marlo appeared as guests on Garden Chats, a podcast about mental health, a couple months back. It's a really good episode that not only brings up interesting points about the stigma behind depression but also the strong bond Marlo and Don share. Don said that he was hesitant to do the podcast at first but in the end he was glad he did it.

How the two got together is a cute and funny story. Marlo had her first acting gig for an ad for a security system where she played a damsel in distress during a break in. Don was nearby and thought Marlo was in danger so he swooped in to save the day, only to be humiliated after getting yelled at by her and the crew. The poor guy was so caught up in helping someone in need that he failed to notice the cameras and other equipment that were clearly visible. After getting over the embarrassment, Marlo decided to take him out to dinner as she found him kinda cute and didn’t want to be responsible for him crawling under a rock and never ever seeing the light of day again.

For the next four years Marlo and Don hardly left each other’s side. Marlo’s dad often complains that every time he comes over to visit his daughter, her boyfriend’s always there - though over the years he’s warmed up to him. Likewise whenever Marlo comes home, Don usually tags along with her. I think it was Luciana or maybe Emmaline who said that sometimes they forget that Don’s not from Rosevine nor has he ever lived there.

In a way it’s kinda like an opposites attract sort of relationship. Don’s more serious and levelheaded while Marlo is more lighthearted and playful. She’s confident and ambitious, always jumping from one thing to another. He’s more of a go with the flow type, the one who picks and chooses his battles with consideration. He may come across as a no nonsense kind of guy sometimes, but he’s also a sensitive one. She may have a tendency to ramble on and attract trouble, but you have to admit her heart’s in the right place. Marlo gets in over her head while Don gets taken in for the ride. They compliment and contrast each other - sometimes even picking up each other’s traits over the years.

So imagine what was going through everyone’s heads when rumors started going around about the engagement being broken. Since there was never really a confirmation or a denial, no one really knew what was going on. At least for me and my circle of friends, while we were concerned, we knew it wasn’t our place to get involved in any way. Now that we know what really happened thanks to the podcast, I’m glad that the whole thing never really made the gossip mill.

The podcast that Don and Marlo did was hosted by Lessa, probably making it the first time I’ve ever listened to a podcast where I know the host and the guests on a personal level. Don spoke about how he was recently diagnosed with clinical depression and how he had suspected that something was wrong with him for a long time before that. Pressure from work and his engagement along with a bunch of other personal issues led to him getting cold feet and abruptly breaking things off with Marlo. With everything going on he suddenly found himself unable to cope so he ended up almost sabotaging the best thing to ever happen to him. Looking back, he felt that it was his way of punishing himself for not being happy enough despite having everything he could have ever wanted (and more) from someone he loved.

Marlo also spoke about the near breakup and how she began doubting herself when Don started pushing her away. When he told her that he couldn’t marry her, she couldn’t believe it. So she fought back, demanding an explanation and blaming herself. But because she loved him, Marlo knew that she couldn’t just stand there and watch Don slip into a downward spiral.

The “breakup” lasted for about a month, which was the longest Marlo and Don went without talking to each other. By then their friends had noticed a change in Don’s behavior as he was isolating himself from everyone and acting erratically. Marlo felt helpless but persisted and once Don realized that he wasn't all right, he turned to Marlo and her family for help. Since then their relationship has grown stronger.

It was interesting to hear them be so open and vulnerable about their struggles. If the whole conversation isn't proof of how much they care about each other, I don't know what is. I'm glad that Don's getting the help he needs and that Marlo's luck is finally changing.

As for the wedding, there's no set date yet but it's definitely happening. Though at this point they're pretty much like an old married couple, which is super cute. With everything going on in their personal and professional lives, they want to wait until things settle down before tying the knot. Daisy Jane, Andrea, Almie, and I are betting that the wedding's happening sooner rather than later - as in this year. Based on these past few days, it looks like we're not too far off the mark!

Marlo was absolutely fantastic in Sugar and Spice! From the catchy songs to the witty dialogue and relatable characters, it's no wonder that the play has been getting glowing reviews! Marlo stole the show, easily one of the highlights of the play. Unlike previous shows Marlo toured for, she's not stuck being the saving grace of a poorly executed script, something that she has been the victim of far too many times.

The show's about a group of friends who work at a bakery called Sugar and Spice. Marlo is Gingie, a newcomer who had just left home and rediscovers her love for baking through the bakery. There's a funny running gag of Gingie coming up with the most ridiculous cookie recipes that turn out good and leaving the kitchen in such a state of disaster in the process. It's a cute and funny show about a bunch of friends who like to bake.

In between shows, Marlo joined us at the camp. Most of the nights were sold out or didn't have enough seats for the camp, which was why we were unable to attend the first week. Once things got settled down with rehearsals and such, Marlo and Don were able to have some time for themselves at the camp. The two enjoyed picnics on various hangout spots, sightseeing near the mountains, and chilling at the beach.

We also helped Jack set up for the Spooky Moon Festival. Marlo was bummed that she's gonna miss it so Don promised to take a lot of pics for her. It's been great catching up with them and seeing them have fun together. They plan to return in the near future so that's something to look forward to!

The Spooky Moon Festival comes once every few years to celebrate the Spooky Moon. While helping out with the festival, I've learned a lot about the event. Basically there's a spooky looking moon that looks like it's covered in cobwebs that comes into view every four years. It looks super cool, like something out of a vintage spooky picture you see in old books. Everything about the festival gives off Halloween vibes and I'm really digging the aesthetic!

After seeing Marlo off, we got to prepping for the midnight feast. Don's been a great deal of help and it's nice getting to know him on a one on one basis. I think this is the first time I've hung out with him without Marlo. He's been enjoying the camp, which is great as Marlo didn't want him to worry about her too much. Like I said, it's sweet how much they watch out for each other.

At midnight, the festivities began! Making the food was a lot of fun, especially making everything look spooky and cool for the occasion. Decorating cookies was my favorite part as well as cutting out dough into fun shapes for the pies. It took a lot of prep time but the effort was so worth it - everything came out great!

Along with the food, we enjoyed listening to spooky stories, playing fun games, and looking at the moon through the astronomer's telescope. The Spooky Moon's a lovely view to see, made even better with good company to share it with!

Chapter 15 - This Halloween, So Unlike Any Other

Seattle Washington, October 31 1986

(Chris is 22, Andi is 20)

CHRIS: "... ok then Paul Stanley," Kim jokes sarcastically taking a sip of his beer as I finish painting the black star over my eye and walk out of the bathroom.

"What...? This is perfect though you have to admit," I say looking down at myself with the large plastic knife sticking out of my chest, fake blood splattered all over my ripped white t-shirt and down my jeans with fake stab wounds all over my chest.

Halloween 1986. My favorite time of the year. The one of year time where I can dress up and pretend that I'm not me anymore. I can fucking drink my fucking face off and just have fun. Well I know I can do that pretty much any time, I am in a band of course, but it's specially fun doing it on Halloween. Kim and I are meeting Susan down at a huge house party on 22nd and Main street and everyone is supposed to be there. I know, I'm not normally one for large groups of people but tonight I am making the exception. I feel fucking great.

Susan and I have been seeing each other pretty steady for just over a year now. At first we were just friends since she started managing the band and we were pretty much just having fun with each other. But then sometime last fall, we started becoming a little bit more than just friends. She is really sweet and I have a lot of fun with her.

Now I know what you're thinking. What the hell happened to Andi? Well I'd like to ask that same question myself. I don't know what happened. After that last time she showed up and she told me she loved me, and we made fucking beautiful amazing love to each other, she disappeared and she hasn't come back since.

I know... I know... she can't help it. I can hear you all yelling at me through the pages, I get it. But what the fuck am I supposed to do? I'm tired of missing her and I'm tired of feeling the horrible heartbreak each time she leaves me. What if after all this fucking time, we don't ever actually meet each other. What if we aren't even together and this entire time was just all completely made up?

I don't have to hide with Susan. I can actually bring her around my friends and out in public without worrying if I'm messing up any sort of fucking time line that I haven't even experienced yet so how do I even know if the whole fucking thing is true or not.

I like Susan. I like her a lot. I may even love her and that's good enough for now.

"I call it 'death of a star man'," I joke and Kim just looks at me with a smirk. I'm not a Kiss fan at all so I figured I could be ironic with pretending to be Paul Stanley - a brutally murdered Paul Stanley.

"Hey at least I'm dressing up here... what the hell are you supposed to be?" I ask. Kim gives himself a look over at just what he usually wears - jeans and a t-shirt - and then takes another sip of his beer.

"I am a guitar guru," Kim says closing his eyes and making the motion of meditation with his hands while I just smirk and shake my head at him.

"We should head out, everyone should be at the party by now," I say as I grab my leather jacket that was by the apartment door.

"Where is Hiro anyways?" Kim asks taking another sip of his beer and rises from the large reading chair.

"Who knows... probably at his parents or something," I say as I slip on my jacket and pull out the pack of cigarettes from my pocket to light one up. Kim downs the last of his beer and sets the empty bottle on the coffee table.

"Alright, star man lets head out," Kim jokes and I chuckle as we head out of the apartment.

*****

ANDI: Shit Shit Shit... ok calm down Andrea, you're ok. Naked, but you're ok. Another day, another time slip isn't that what they always say? Fuck it's a little nippy out here - no pun intended.

I lift myself up from the cold green grass of whatever park or backyard I seem to be in and cross my arms over my chest, looking around in the darkness of my surroundings. I glance up at the large oak tree that I'm sitting under and follow along with what looked to be a laundry line all the way to a large brick house with pool and a deck encompassing the back screen doors.

Ok, it's a backyard... good.

Flipping my dark curls out of my face, I rise to my feet, looking around to make sure no one could see me. It looks like the house is dark so the owners must not be home, but they did leave a few clothes out on the laundry line. I move closer to the tree, reaching up and pulling on the laundry line as the clothes were at the opposite end near the deck. The clothes begin to bounce and sway as I pull them closer towards me. It was a pair of Adidas gym shorts and a white Adidas t-shirt and I pull them down from the line to quickly change into them. They were miles way too big for me but at least the shorts have a drawstring. I'm not sure what to do about my feet but I make my way out of the backyard, through the little latch gate and out onto the sidewalk.

Ok, where am I? This neighborhood doesn't look familiar.

I quickly walk along the sidewalk a few feet and come up to a small intersection.

"Woodbine and Brussel... ok, that... doesn't help," I say quietly to myself. I look down the street to the left and then to the right and the whole entire neighborhood seemed completely vacant, except for a dog barking in the distance. I decide to take a right and make my way down the street, hating the fact that I'm in my bare feet. After a few blocks I see a group of people up a head a little bit, so I figure I can ask them just where I am. As I approach them, I see that they seem to be in costumes, all made up and just having the time of their life apparently.

"Hi, um, I'm sorry to bother you but, I'm lost and I don't know where I am exactly. Could you tell me what neighborhood I'm in?" I ask as sweet as I can.

"Where ya tryna get to?" The tallest one asks me.

"18th and Roosevelt," I say.

"Oh girl you are way outta the way... you'll wanna go like probably 10 blocks straight ahead, then make a left down like 4 more blocks,"

"Ok, thank you," I say sweetly and I start to walk in that direction.

"Wait girl, wait... you ok? You don't have any shoes on," The tallest one asks again.

"I'm alright... thank you," I smile back at the group and continue on down the sidewalk.

"Happy Halloween!" They call to me.

Halloween? Well now that makes sense.

I turn back for a second and thank them once again and make my way down the sidewalk. A little while later I finally make my way down the last few blocks and see 18th and Roosevelt straight ahead. Thank god cause my feet are really killing me right now. I make my way down and finally find Chris's apartment. As I walk up the steps I see that the entire apartment was dark from the inside. I remember a little spare key that he kept just above the doorframe so I reach up and feel around for it and find it immediately. I then look around behind me to make sure no one can see me and I unlock the door and step inside.

It feels like I'm breaking into his apartment, but I seriously don't have anywhere to go and his place is the only place I can think of that would have something for me to wear and put on my feet. The entire place is dark so at least no one will ever know that I'm here. First I head into the bathroom, peel off my stolen clothes and quickly take a shower. Once I finish - giving some extra attention to my poor feet - I pick up the clothes from the floor and make my way into Chris's bedroom. I flick on the bedroom light and see his room exactly the same as before. His blankets in a bit of a mess on the bed, and his guitars and amps everywhere. I glance up on the wall and see a calendar flipped to October 1986.

I then move to his dresser and pull open up the bottom drawer to see if he still had my clothes from the last time I was here. After searching through his t-shirts, that smell so much like him still, I find that Ramones tank top and ripped jeans stuffed way at the bottom of the drawer.

"Oh fuck, thank you baby," I exhale to myself and change into them, then grab a pair of his socks and the pair of black and white converse that I was wearing last time that he had crammed beside the dresser and put them on my feet. After I do so, I stuff the stolen clothes in bottom dresser drawer and then sit down on his bed to gather myself for a few moments.

In my time it's only been a couple of weeks since my last slip, but for Chris it's been 2 years. My slips were finally under control before my last one and then...

Everything is just so hard right now. I hate how I feel and I hate that no matter what I do, I can't stop the bad stuff from happening...

I wipe away the tears that had streamed down my face and take in a deep breath. I wish Chris was here. I wonder where he is? Suddenly I hear someone coming in the apartment and I start to panic.

"Hey Chris, you left the door unlocked - oh sorry, hey... wait, who are you?"

I rise from the bed realizing I forgot to close Chris's bedroom door and see Hiro standing in the doorway looking at me completely confused and concerned that this strange girl is standing in Chris's bedroom.

"Um... sorry I was just waiting for Chris..." I say nervously.

"Oh... he's at that huge house party with Kim," Hiro says still confused.

"House party?" I ask.

"Yea, the one down on 22nd and Main street... didn't he tell you?" Hiro asks.

"No... no well yea, I just forgot...." I lie, and Hiro raises his eyebrow at me. Now I know why he was acting so weird when I met him the first time.

"You can stay here and wait for him if you want but, I'm pretty sure he's gonna be late coming home,"

"No, it's ok, I'll uh... I 'll just go meet him there," I say as I walk past Hiro, towards the front door. I feel Hiro watch me as I head out the door and I realize that I was holding my breath the entire time. I let out a long exhale and make my way down the street to the house party on 22nd and Main.

*****

CHRIS: "Babe, come on... come back to the apartment with me,"

"No Chris, you know I've gotta get up early tomorrow," Susan says as she pushes me away playfully as we walk down the dark streets of downtown Seattle.

"So that's why you didn't drink as much as me?" I say slurring a little.

"Pretty much," She smiles at me and I lean in to give her a kiss on her earlobe. I was hammered at this point. I completely lost track of just how many shots of Jack Daniels I've had but I know it was a lot. I was also fucking horny as hell and I was trying my best to charm her so she would come back home with me.

"It'll be fun, I promise," I say seductively once more.

"Chris... I'm sorry I can't," She giggles and playfully pushes me away again. It's been so long since we fucked that I just wanted to play a little but she continues to push me away so I take the hint and I stop. She glances up at me seeing the look of disappointment on my face and takes my hand and laces her fingers through mine.

"Look, we'll make a date for Saturday night ok? After your gig at The Gorilla room? I'll be all yours alright?" She says sweetly but I don't say anything back. She then lifts herself up and places a quick kiss on my lips.

"Walk me home?" She asks innocently.

"Sure," I exhale and offer a small grin as we make our way down the street.

After I walk Susan home, I make my way back to my apartment, tossing my keys on the side table once I enter the door.

I guess it's just me and my hand tonight

"Hey Chris," Hiro says as I slip off my jacket.

"Hey," I say and Hiro gives me a strange look from the couch.

"Paul Stanley huh?" He chuckles. I glance down at myself realizing I had lost the plastic knife hours ago so I pretty much look like a bludgeoned mess of a Paul Stanley at this point.

"Yea," I chuckle as I catch a glimpse of myself in the entryway mirror that hung on the wall. I was still in full black and white star make up, but it was completely smudged up around my lips and chin.

"Where's Kim?"

"Still drinking at the party. Man he's like a fish sometimes," I chuckle and Hiro laughs.

"You meet up with that girl?" He asks.

"What girl?" I ask as I crouch down to attempt to take off my Doc Martens in the entryway.

"There was a girl here waiting for you. I told her you were at that party, she left here... I don't know maybe 10 minutes ago," As Hiro continues to explain I feel my heart begin to pound. I slowly rise from my crouching position.

"Who was it? What'd she look like?" I ask worriedly.

"I don't know, she didn't say... long dark curls, um... I don't know, brown eyes... paler than anything though... really cute little thing," He smirks. I quickly tie my boot back up and slip my jacket back on. Just as Hiro was about to say something else, without wasting any more time I practically run out the door and back down the steps, to try to catch her.

*****

ANDI: I make my way down to 22nd street and realize that there were a ton of house party's that were going on all along the neighborhood. It seems so unlike Chris to want to be around a huge crowd of people. Such a difference from how is now... so full of numbness and pain, that I'm also going through myself and can't make it better for either of us. I hate the fact that I slipped again, leaving him there in that bed all alone without me.

Suddenly I hear a voice calling out from behind me, I stop and turn around to see nothing but groups of people in costumes trying to find their drunken way home.

"ANDI!!" I hear the voice call out for me again and it sounded like Chris but I couldn't see him anywhere. Then I see a Paul Stanley jogging straight towards me and I was completely surprised that he looked a lot like Chris, especially with those wild curls all about him.

"Oh, my god, Andi..."

"Chris?" I giggle realizing it actually was Chris and I move towards him. He takes me in his arms, panting as he holds me close in the middle of the sidewalk.

"Hiro said you were in my room and you were waiting for me, so I ran down here to find you," He pants as he continues to hold me.

"Yea, I uh... needed to um... see you," I say trying hard not to fall apart.

"You ok?" He says so comfortingly as he pulls away from me and reaches to brush a few curls from my face.

"I am now," I say and he gives me that cute coy smile. Then for some reason his expression changes and his brow furrows and he slowly lets go of me.

"So... what year? 1990?" Chris asks.

"Yea... how'd you know?"

"You're usually upset when you come from around '89 or '90" He says looking away from my eyes, and I couldn't deny the fact that we are definitely going through a really hard time right now.

"I thought you weren't allowed to meet any one that I know yet," He says and I realize he was referring to Hiro.

"It's not that I'm not allowed... it's that..." I trail off trying to come up with an explanation but how in the hell do you explain complicated time travel like this? We stand there in silence for a few moments as drunken groups of people continue to make their way down the street, every once in a while screaming 'Happy Halloween'.

"Look, you wanna come back to my place? I should really clean up a bit. Wash this whole situation off my face," He chuckles as he gestures to the black star painted over his eye.

"Sure," I say sweetly and he takes my hand in his, lacing his fingers through mine and we walk back to his apartment.

In no time, I was back in his place, Hiro passed out on the couch with the T.V on while I sat in Chris's bedroom, waiting for him to come out of the shower. I glance over at the jet black Gibson Les Paul that was sitting on it's stand beside one of his amps, sit down cross legged in front of it taking it off the stand and lay it in my lap.

It's my favorite guitar next to my '59 Sun Burst that my dad got me. I love this guitar more than anything and every time I pick it up, it reminds me of when Chris was crazy enough to steal it for me. I begin to pluck away at the strings for a few moments, relishing in a time before everything became so hard, wanting desperately to stop the pain that Chris is going through, that I'm going through.

"Fuck, that feels so much better," Chris says and I glance up to see him walking into the bedroom with a white towel wrapped around his hips, droplets of water still running down his toned chest and to his abs as he uses another towel to dry his wet curls that splay across his chest. I clear my throat and set the guitar back on it's stand.

"You didn't have to stop playing," He smiles at me.

"It's ok," I say and climb up from the floor and sit back down on his bed. He then drops down on the bed beside me, continuing to dry his curls, his face completely clean and smooth, not a hint of stubble at all.

The way the water still drips down across his freckled shoulders, I couldn't help myself at this point. I rise to my knees and place a kiss on his shoulder, then to his neck and to his earlobe, where the tiny silver hoop earing shone in the over head light of his bedroom. I hear him sigh as I softly trail my lips back down his neck. He turns slightly and I cup his face in my hands, placing my lips on his. He responds, as I suck on that beautiful full bottom lip, tasting like sweet whiskey still, his hands move to my hips as I situate myself on top of him straddling him with the towel around his hips.

"Andi," He says against my lips.

"Uh huh?" I exhale, my lips still brushing across his.

"I uh -" He starts but I move my lips to his throat, then back to his earlobe as I hear him sigh once more.

"Chris?" I whisper.

"Andi -?"

"I want you to make love to me," I whisper.

At that moment, I hear him groan as his hands move from my hips up under my shirt, skipping across my back as his lips connect with my shoulder, softly nipping as I begin to move my hips against him, feeling him begin to become extremely excited. I want to feel him inside me so bad. I want him to take away all my sadness and pain. His lips move to my throat, softly biting and nipping then reaches up to cup my face in his palms, breaking away to touch his forehead to mine.

"Andi I can't," He pants. For a moment I was taken aback and confused at what he just said.

"What? What do you mean...?" I ask, my eyes closed, trying to catch my breath.

"I can't, we can't... I -" He starts and I flick my eyes open to look at him. Those beautiful blue eyes that always look at me full of love and passion and complete utter insatiable lust, suddenly look different. I furrow my brow, afraid of what he is going to say.

"I'm sorry... I'm with someone. I'm with someone else," He says and it was like a Mack truck hit me right in my chest.

"What?" I exhale, not sure if I heard him correctly.

"I'm with someone else... Her name is Susan. Susan Silver," He says and it was like I couldn't remember how to breathe. I just needed to breathe.

"No, no... no you're not, you're with me. Chris you're with me," I say frantically.

"I'm - I'm sorry," He says and all I could hear was loud ringing in my ears. Deafening. So loud I swear Chris could hear it.

"Andi... Andi wait -"

And I'm back on a soft carpeted floor, trying to catch my breath, as I begin to sob uncontrollably crying out in the darkness.

The Cigar Is All You See

THE CIGAR IS ALL YOU SEE

First, do no TV: how badly do you want to make it in Hollywood, doctor?

FADE IN:

I/E.

A HOTEL BANQUET ROOM/OUTSIDE ENTRANCE-NIGHT

An EASEL holds a foam board telling us that inside the dark room-twinkling with spores of glittery tables, is the 2021 American Board of Radiology Conference.

Photos of two men are the evening’s GUEST SPEAKERS: GREG CRANDON, 53 and BEN HAMMIL, 52. Crandon is a bit pale, thinning hair on top scalp, bulging but happy eyes. He is posing with TV actor MATT KISLEYAK, 54. Matt is charismatic, and wears his TV-doctor’s uniform, Crandon is ‘on-set’ with Kisleyak and posing with an arm is around the shorter Crandon. Under the photo it reads:

“Radiology Consultant to Hollywood, Greg Crandon (with “Med Lives” star, Matt Kisleyak). The second photo is Hammil, who looks more like a TV star than a radiologist. Tall, long reddish hair. His photo depicts the smiling Hammill standing on a Ted Talk stage pointing and smiling. It’s captioned: “Welcome Ted Talk Keynote Speaker on AI and Radiology, Ben Hammil of Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles”

INT. BANQUET ROOM/BEYOND THE EASEL & SIGN-SIMULTANEOUSLY

In a reverse fractal, Dr. Ben Hammil is on-stage, preaching new gospel.

BEN

Twenty-two years in radiology. I’ve missed things. You know what sees everything? Machine learning. Check this out.

Ben lifts a POWERPOINT REMOTE AND CLICKS!

A massive projection screen behind Hammil fills with what looks like a photo quilt of chipmunk faces (tight crops of just the eyes, nose and whiskered mouth).

BEN (CONT’D)

Chipmunks. Cute. Sixteen-hundred chipmunk faces. Do you see the cat?

CUT TO:

VIP TABLE/ORCHESTRA SEAT LOCALE-CONTINUOUS SOUND OF: BEN HAMMIL’S VOICE-CONSTANTLY.

Greg in a slightly old-school tux joins his wife, ANDREA, 47.

In trying so hard to look younger, she forgets to be young. Everyone but the WIVES in the room are fixed on Hammil’s presentation.

ANDREA

(To Greg)

Can you get Matt’s autograph for Penny?

Andrea’s body language tightens after she notices cocaine on his nose. She grabs a napkin, wipes it. No one sees the coke. Just her ‘mothering’ him.

Fellow attendee and table-mate LEO, 42, now distracted.

LEO

(To Greg)

You missed Hammil’s award.

GREG Oh well.

LEO

Saw his Ted Talk. I played golf with him-played near him.

GREG

It’s just a tool, this software. A computer can’t deliver bad news or hold a box of Kleenex.

Greg gestures to a passing SERVER for another round of drinks. He pivots to PENNY, 36, pretty, blond trophy wifetwo small children later.

GREG (CONT’D) Penny? I’ll get you Matt’s autograph. I’m going to the studio tomorrow.

Penny is electrified. She points at Ben and announces to all:

PENNY

Out of everyone tonight he’s the most interesting and ground-level.

She catches herself when she sees Greg’s reaction.

CUT TO:

EXT. HOLLYWOOD SOUNDSTAGE/PRODUCTION OFFICE FOR “MED LIVES”NEXT DAY

Greg drives his bronze BMW convertible to the GUARD-GATE. A familiar GUARD, 39, waves him through.

Moments later, Greg strides, getting tanner the closer he gets to the the SOUNDSTAGE DOOR. He glides past Matt Kisleyak’s RED FERRARRI. It’s parked next to the door. A sign designates: “Reserved for Matt Kisleyak/Med Lives.

CUT TO:

INT.

SOUNDSTAGE FOR “MED LIVES”-CONTINUOUS

It’s a magical forest of cables, wisteria hanging lights, cameras, crew, fake hospital sets, ACTORS in costume, CRAFT

SERVICES TABLE loaded with EVERYTHING you could ever want. Willy Wonka time.

KEN (O.C.) Dr.Crandon?

KEN GOLDISH, 37, is one of the show’s Producers. Greg wheels in the direction of his voice.

CONT.

The two walk a hallway lined with POSTERS of MED LIVES’ CAST in character. Ken is ahead and faster.

GREG

(Holding a zip drive and script.)

I have the notes on the next show. Just a few minor details.

Ken turns to see Greg brandishing his work.

KEN

(Takes the thumb-drive.) Keep the script.

They stop at the last door.

What did Matt want to see me for?

KEN

(Knocks twice) He’ll tell you.

CUT TO:

INT.

MATT’S OFFICE-FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER

Greg is seated next to Matt’s desk. The blinds are closed, the only light comes from a large computer monitor.

As Matt sits and shares the glow with Greg you see an unbelievably photogenic man.

GREG

(Staring and smiling at Matt.)

This isn’t ideal. You should send the full study to my office at the hospital.

MATT

Not gonna happen. It’s a favor for a good friend. I’m looking out for him. A secret second-opinion.

Greg nods into gear with a deep breath.

CUT TO:

30 MINUTES LATER-

The star is opening the blinds. He turns around and saws his palm into Greg’s personal space.

MATT

Thanks so much for doing this.

GREG

I’m sure it’s not what you wanted to hear. Your friend definitely has stage-four lung cancer. I couldn’t tell more without labs, biopsies-

Greg stands to meet Matt’s goodbye shake.

MATT

Keep this between us?

Matt opens door. Greg pulls the rolled MED LIVES script out of his suit pocket.

GREG

I’m sorry, but a friend of my wife’s..

MATT

(Grabbing a pen.) What’s her name?

GREG

Penny. Thanks for that. I never ask, but the wife...

MATT

Got it. Hey, I’m hosting a celebrity golf tourney this weekend at Hillcrest Country Club. For Children’s Hospital. You play?

CUT TO:

INT. GREG’S HOME OFFICE, WOODLAND HILLS,CA-NEXT EVENING

A man-cave with no man. It resembles a furniture store display. The only indicator of human occupancy is a box of Just For Men hair dye. He stands before a full-length mirror wearing new golf-wear. Looks a little ‘back to school’.

PRICE TAGS are strewn at his feet. He snips the last tag from his BELT.

CLOSE ON: BELT/SCISSORS THE TAG READS $169.00. After a snip, it flutters down onto his new shoes. It’s quiet until-

ANDREA (O.C.)

Christ. You could go as Tiger Woods for Halloween.

GREG

Not really funny. Did you want something?

ANDREA

(Sour.)

Dinner. It’s here.

(Taking a last look, then starts to undress.) Good. I’m hungry.

FADE OUT:

EXT. HILLCREST COUNTRY CLUB-FOLLOWING MORNING

The celebrity event buzzes, it feels like a Christmas tree you could live-in.

INT. HILLCREST DINING ROOM-CONTINUOUS

Cacophonous. Seen from above, Greg disappears into a crowd of

JOURNALISTS, CELEBS, TV CAMERAS, FAMILIES OF PEDIATRIC CANCER PATIENTS, BUSY STAFF, CLUB MEMBERS and people dressed like PEANUTS CARTOON CHARACTERS.

A BANNER ABOVE AN EMPTY PODIUM AT THE BACK OF THE ROOM READS:

“Children’s Hospital Of Los Angeles Annual Celebrity Golf Event 2021”

Hearing Matt from behind a potted tree he eagerly rounds the corner.

It’s Matt with Ben Hammil and a few others. Laughing. Drinking.

GREG (TO SELF) Fucking guy...

Matt turns around. Seeing Greg, he’s not unhappy but there’s no reward in seeing him. Greg bounds over, socially awkward in Ben’s presence.

MATT

(To the group.)

This is Greg Crandon. He’s the Doc who makes Dr. Morrow sound like he went to medical school. Hey, Greg, this is one of your radiologist tribal members: Ben Hammil.

GREG

Yeah, we shared a bill at a radiology convention last week. I was keynote.

BEN

It was actually fun. Like an extended Ted Talk.

ANOTHER MAN IN THE GROUP Oh, that’s where I know you from!

MATT

Greg we’re doing a Four Man Cha Cha Cha wager; the losing team coughs up forty-K for the charity. You’re in, right?

GREG

Forty? It’s in my car.

The group laughs.

GREG (CONT'D) Will you excuse me?

Greg breaks away and rushes to the MEN’S BATHROOM.

CUT TO:

INT. HILLCREST DINING ROOM-TWENTY MINUTES LATER

Most of the crowd spills onto the fairway path, outside. Greg hustles to catch-up.

CUT TO:

EXT. FAIRWAY PATH-CONTINUOUS

Greg approaches the REGISTRATION TABLE.

An ATTRACTIVE SWEDISH FEMALE CLUB STAFFER, 23, is dispensing Team Badges, which are mounted on a valet’s keyboard behind her. The teams are named after Peanuts Characters. Greg squints to see the SNOOPY Team, which is led by Matt.

FEMALE STAFFER (O.S.) Good morning! What’s your name?

GREG

Greg Crandon? I think I’m a Snoopy, on Matt’s team.

FEMALE STAFFER

Here you are. You’re a LINUS!

Matt invited me personally, I’m sure I’m a Snoopy.

FEMALE STAFFER It’s a perfect day for a game, you’ll have a great time.

The Staffer dangles the Linus Team badge. Greg takes it.

As he approaches, A GOLF CART WHIRRS away: Ben Hamill is the driver, Matt’s his co-pilot.

They leave a wake in the COLLECTIVE MEDIA bush they pass.

CUT TO:

INT. GREG'S BEDROOM-2 DAYS LATER-EARLY MORNING

He’s on his back, snoring.

ANDREA (O.C.)

Get up! Get up! Matt’s dead! Greg! Wake up!

GREG

(Slowly waking.) What are you talking about?

Andrea turns on the bedroom TV. Live local news broadcasts the scene outside of Matt Kisleyak’s home in Malibu.

CUT TO:

CLOSE ON: POLICE TAPE, BODIES BEING ROLLED TO THE CORONER’S VAN.

The CAPTION READS: “MATT KISLEYAK, STAR OF ‘MED LIVES’,

BELOVED HOLLYWOOD STAR, WIFE AND SON DEAD: SUSPECTED CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING...”

GREG No! What?

CUT TO:

EXT. HOLLYWOOD SOUNDSTAGE/SECURITY GUARD GATE-1 HOUR LATER

Flowers and memorials nearly block the entrance.

GREG

I have to see Ken Goldish.

GUARD

No one on the lot today without approval. Given what’s happened I cannot do anything. Have Ken call me. Turn around and go park on the street.

Stressed, Greg scrapes his BMW on a concrete safety stanchion.

CUT TO:

INT. KEN GOLDISH’S OFFICE-15 MINUTES LATER

Ken is on the phone with Greg, while multitasking. A MEMORIAL VIDEO is playing on the production monitor in his office. People on-set and walking by the open door weep.

KEN

(Puts Greg on

SPEAKERPHONE)

The show is obviously going to shutdown until the writers find an appropriate way through Matt’s death. Listen, we can’t have people talking to the press about what Matt did.

GREG (O.S.) What did he do?

KEN

His son, Liam’s cancer. You know, you saw his MRI.

GREG (O.S.)

He said it was a friend of his.

KEN

No. Liam collapsed at college. He’s been living at Children’s Hospital on and on for months. I don’t know if Lily chose to die but everyone was drugged and he closed the windows and messed with his central air...No more pain.

GREG (O.S.)

Can I call you when the show is back up? I think I have an angle on

AI-

KEN

Seriously not the time. I gotta go. I’ll let you know about the memorial if you want, okay? Bye.

CUT TO:

INT. GREG'S HOME OFFICE AGAIN-ONE HOUR LATER

Greg saunters through his open office door head-down.

The sound of a GARDENER BLOWING LEAVES IN THE FRONT YARD IS A CONSTANT.

ANDREA (O.S.)

(Popped like a cork.) What did you do?

Andrea is sitting at his DESK; it’s littered with the golf clothing TAGS, the autographed script, she’s been rummaging.

GREG My desk..

ANDREA

I answered your office line.

Children’s Hospital Charity Committee something or other called to say they can’t refund your fortythousand dollar donation but they’d be happy to provide you with a tax form so you can declare it. Were you trying to impress Matt Kisleyak?

GREG Be quiet.

She throws the price tags at his face.

She sits at his desk and lifts the office phone receiver.

ANDREA

I’m calling that charity and telling them you can’t be held responsible because you have a drug problem and I will sue them if they don’t return the forty-thousand.

She dials the Charity’s number, taking it from the tax form.

GREG

I’m warning you-

ANDREA

Now you’re a man, right?

Greg walks towards her, automatically, instinctively. She backs-up to get space between them.

Now they’re both behind his desk.

GREG

We’re are so done.

In one freakish rage he grabs his office chair and swings it at Andrea. The wheeled feet break her jaw as she drops to the floor.

Greg tosses the chair aside blood from the wheels casts off all over the MED LIVES SCRIPT. He stands over the whimpering disoriented Andrea and begins to stomp her into a near coma.

He continues as we FADE OUT.

CUT TO:

EXT. HOLLYWOOD-45 MINUTES LATER

Greg is walking up HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD. Another sunny day.

Surrounded by TOURISTS, WORKERS, WALKERS, SHOPPERS, and CHARACTER ACTORS hawking for tips dressed as DEAD HOLLYWOOD. They appear to be moving on a giant treadmill.

MOMENTS LATER-

The WALK OF FAME STARS peel away under Greg’s feet until he see’s Matt Kisleyak’s STAR with a growing memorial. He looks down at the bloodied LIVES MED SCRIPT UNDER HIS ARM.

Greg enter a crosswalk against traffic.

FLASHBACK TO:

THE ABR CONFERENCE-BEN HAMMIL’S SPEECH ABOUT PERCEPTION.

SEE: IMAGE OF THE BRICK WALL WITH A CIGAR PINCHED IN-BETWEEN TWO-BRICKS.

BEN

At the top we see a garden variety red brick. All of it’s -

RETURN TO PRESENT-HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD HEARING HAMILL’S VOICE.

BEN (V.O.)

-flaws, pores, grit and different colors up close. So many facets and defects. Below that image we see a brick wall. However once I tell you that there’s a cigar stuck in that wall? That’s pretty much all you see now. Humans make a choice, AI just sees everything...

CLOSE ON: TRAFFIC LIGHT ‘DON’T WALK’ SIGNAL.

Greg quickly turns around and RUNS into traffic.

SOUND OF: SCREECHING TIRES. A SICK BANG AND CRACKING THUD. CARS REAR-ENDING. HORNS.

CUT TO:

CLOSE ON: THE AUTOGRAPHED ‘MED LIVES’ SCRIPT. BLOODIER, ON THE SIDEWALK.

A MAN, 29, GRABS IT AMIDST THE CHAOS BEHIND HIM.

MAN

(Into his cel phone.) Bae? I have some good news and better news. You know how Matt Kisleyak croaked today? I’m the proud owner of an script autographed by him. YES. The better news is it’s covered in blood.

FADE OUT.

Halloween Cegan Fic

A/N : YAY I’m back! and this time I come here to post my newest Cegan fanfic and this time using Halloween theme with Incubus!Carl <3

Here’s some preview of the story :

Title : Trapped in A Dream

Summary : Carl watched the moon from his bedroom window, he felt content with his life, but he also felt something was missing. He feels both happy and sad… he's still trying to figure out how that could be. Things that he was interested in, things that once made him happy, no longer does. He wants to have something to be excited about, something to look forward too again, so he closes his eyes and secretly wishes under the moonlight, 'I hope my life changes, and I hope I find something I want.'

He wished it out on a whim.

The next morning, Carl found something that, indeed, would change his life forever. Is it something he wants? Probably not.

it was a quiet Sunday morning at the grimes house, well, until a scream is heard from Carl's room. "MOM! DAD! Something fucking weird has happened!" Carl ran down the stairs as fast as he could, he quickly approached his parents at the dining table, they both looked worried.

He pointed at the weird thing shaped as tail with what looked like an arrow at the end. "What the hell is this!?"

He shook his newborn tail and tried to pull it out, which was a bad idea. "Ow!"

His parents gave a reaction he wasn't expecting. "Oh my God! My son has become an incubus! This is great news!" Lori was ecstatic while Rick just smiled. "See, I told you he'd take after us, Lori."

Carl gaped at them. "What kind of prank are you guys pulling?"

"This isn't a prank son, look I can see your new horns too." RIck said as he sipped his coffee.

Carl runs a hand through his hair as he approaches the nearest mirror to see.

His dad wasn't lying, there were two curled horns sitting on the sides of his head.

"What the hell is happening to me!?"

"Shuuush—Carl! You're gonna wake the neighbors, you don't want them to know you're Incubus, right?"

"I am... a what?" Carl cannot process his parent's words, it was… just too weird! They should

be freaking out with him, maybe take him to the hospital. This isn't normal!

"Carl, we have something to tell you that we've been hiding for a long time," Rick suddenly becomes serious, "Your mother and I have Incubus blood."

"Incubus? Isn't that a demon who sleeps with people?"

They both nodded.

"So, you're saying I'm that—an Incubus? Why the fuck would you keep this from me!? Is Judith one too!?"

"Well she hasn't presented yet, but probably," Lori corrected him, ignoring his first question completely.

"Are you guys serious?" he still couldn't believe what was happening right now.

But his parents weren't lying at all.

"Don't worry Carl! Soon you'll be feeding off the life essence of humans! How fun is that?" Lori beams at him, clapping her hands like a child.

"That's not fun! I don't want to do any of that!"

"Ah don't think like that Carl, once you start hunting you'll see just how great it is. Your mother and I go 'hunting' every week." Rick chimes in, giving Lori a little wink to make her giggle.

Why are they acting like there's no problem? This is beyond fucked up to Carl, "How do you even have the time for that?!"

"When you and Judith are at school. Oh and you know my weekly book club? Yeah, I don't actually go to that, those ladies are all pretentious bitches." Lori laughs at her own joke.

The puzzle pieces are coming together. Carl's eyes widen. He almost doesn't even want to ask his next question, but he does anyway, "... And you dad?"

Rick smiles, "I don't take any extra shifts at the station, and when I say I'm working late… we'll I'm working on something else," Both of them fucking laugh at his corny joke.

"But you said you needed the extra shifts for money. For all the debts we have to pay, your medical bills!"

"Medical bills? Oh! There are none, I was never in a coma. That was just a cover story. You kept asking why I needed extra shifts so I had to make it seem like we were struggling."

Lori cuts him off, "Yes, but the truth is we're actually quite well off, the men and women we see pay us for our—ahem—'services.'"

So while Carl's been working so hard, his parents were fucking like dogs.

"S-so you've been lying to me all this time? Why couldn't you just tell me?" Carl feels like his whole life has been a lie, and in a way it was.

"We have to blend into society, Carl. We didn't want you knowing until you needed to, and well, now is that time."

After a long discussion, and a lot more arguing, they settle on a plan. Carl wants to get the fuck out of this house and away from his parents, and his parents, well, they just want him to learn how to be an incubus that would make them proud, so they meet in the middle. Lori suggests Carl stay with an older lady named Carol, who is a drude demon, but she looks out after newborn succubi and incubi, and teaches them all they need to know. Carl says he'll stay there if he can take Judith with him. They say he can come back for Judith if he's successful with his training, and sleeps with at least one person. Carl scoffs with a blush, but he agrees anyway because how hard can that be? Lori writes down an address, as soon as the paper is in his hand, Carl turns on his heels, and quickly walks away.

He goes to his room, and only takes things absolutely necessary. A few outfits, his bookbag, some comics (because those are very necessary, thank you very much) and starts to leave his room. He makes it to the foot of the steps before he hears the creak of a door. His little sister emerges from the doorway, wiping her tired eyes. Carl hopes the yelling from earlier didn't wake her up.

"Carl? Where are you going? It's so early."

"Hey Judy, um, actually I want to tell you something, I'm going to be away for awhile, but I'll be back as soon as you know it ok? I'm going to stay at some place else, but soon you'll be able to come with me."

Judith starts to tear up, "Don't leave Carl. I don't want you to go."

Carl kneels down to Judith's height, she runs into his arms. Carl holds her tight.

"I promise I'll be back before you know it, Judy."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Judith holds out her tiny pinky finger, Carl smiles and shakes it with his. He kisses her head, then sulkingly descends the stairs.

As Carl walks down the street he gets a call on his phone. It's work. Ugh. He picks it up on the third ring, Andrea, his manager, asks him if he can come In today. He tells her to fuck off, then hangs up. He hopes she fires him. There's no point in working for that fucking job anymore.

Carl finds himself in a sketchy looking alleyway. 'This can't be right.' He looks at the address scribbled on his paper then he looks up at the one on the plaque. They're the same number. He uses the door knocker three times before waiting for a response. Just as he's about to knock again, the door flung open to reveal an older lady with a cigarette in her mouth.

The lady gave him a suspicious look. "Who are you and what do you want?"

Carl nervously smiles, "Uhm—my name is Carl, I'm here because… my parents told me to come here—wait—here is my mom." Carl gave the old woman a picture of his mother with some code on the back of her photo.

The woman took the picture carefully, and looked back at him with curious eyes, "Show me your horns."

Carl nervously looks around, before lifting the hood of his parka a bit to give the lady a glimpse of his horns. The lady rolls her eyes, and tugs on one of his horns.

"Ouch! What the hell, that hurts!"

The old woman wore a smug expression, "So you're not a fake. Good, now come inside."

Upon entering the building, Carl sees what looks to be a regular apartment. He smiles. The place is old, but it doesn't look too bad. He can see himself living here.

"Oh, I don't believe I mentioned my name! It's Carol, I'm the owner of this building. Upstairs is where the dorms are, you'll be staying there, but the basement is where all the action happens, let me show you."

Carl wants to go put his bags upstairs, maybe see what the dorms look like, but the lady, Carol, is beckoning him to follow her.

"Hey, what are you doing? Over here, sweetie."

Carl sighs and follows the lady to a back room which contains some very narrow stairs leading down to the basement. At the foot of the steps a curtain with beads is pushed back by the lady. Carl's jaw drops.

It's a large room, but a colorful stage takes a decent amount of space. On the stage, Carl sees a pole meant for dancing on. The basement looked like a tiny little club in itself. Carl starts to blush. He's never been in a club before, and this one is very suggestive. He can see rooms attached in the back, that he can only assume is where the "feeding" happens.

As if reading his mind, Carol makes note of the rooms in the back, "Oh, I see you eyeing up the play rooms," she laughs, "Don't worry, soon you'll be able to have lots of fun."

Carl frowns, he's too shy to tell her that he has absolutely no experience whatsoever. He's a total virgin.

"Oh don't worry, there's lots of men who like inexperienced youngsters too, and yes, they are complete garbage and perverts," Carol winks.

"Wait! How did you know what I was thinking?!"

"I'm a drude, baby, I know what everyone is thinking. You can't hide anything from me, virgin boy."

Carl blushes, eyes wide in shock.

"Now how about we go upstairs to that dorm, you were so excited to see, hmm?" Carol puffs smoke in his face playfully, before walking past him. Carl groans as he follows her up the steps.

After showing Carl his dorm, and having him put his stuff down, Carol ushers him back out of the room.

"No relaxing yet, let me introduce you to people who you'll be working with."

As Carol drags Carl out the dorm and around the corner. They see the form of a girl hunched over, picking up various articles of clothing. Carl bends down next to the girl and helps pick up a few things for her. He doesn't comment on some of the very suggestive outfits.

The girl blinks up at him, "Oh! Thank you… I don't think we've met."

Before Carl can answer Carol's already speaking for him, "Enid this is Carl, he's new, and Carl, this is Enid, she's a newborn like you, but she knows the ropes by now. You can go to her if you have any questions."

"Oh, it's nice to meet you Carl!" Enid jumps up and stretches out her free hand. Carl takes it carefully and shakes it with his.

"The pleasure is mine." Carl smiles. End is smiles back.

Carl's thinks he's just made a new friend.

Carl learned a lot from Enid. She told him that succubi and incubi can manipulate their form to manifest into whatever their client wants to see. She also told him that they could use magic to charm and seduce humans.

Within a week, Carl got used to living in the dormitory. There were a lot of nice people he met throughout the week. One of which being a succubus named Beth. Beth is very flirty and very experienced. She's been very helpful, which Carl is grateful for. Beth taught him more about magic, among other things, but she likes to tease him a lot about being an inexperienced virgin.

Carl remembers the first time he met her. She was playing piano with very thin clothes on. She was very pretty, for a moment he thought he was witnessing an angel rather than a demon.

After their first encounter, Beth told him she was surprised that he didn't try to come on to her. She laughed and said most incubi got boners just looking at her, but not Carl. Carl admitted he thought she was pretty, but he wasn't into her like that.

With Beth and Enid by his side, Carl started to feel less anxious about the whole thing. Enid even showed him around the city, saying that Carl needed to get out more, especially now that he knew how to disguise his horns and tail to look like a human.

"Ok! We're going to the mall today!"

"What? Why?"

"Because you dress like an old lesbian woman. You need some sexy clothes! All you wear are old flannels and band t-shirts."

"Hey! I like what I wear. it's not that bad…"

"Hey you can wear whatever you want in your free time, but on stage you gotta look like a total slut." She winks at Carl then, "Plus we might see some sexy humans. It's good to get some practice outside of the brothel too, you know? So what are you into? Girls? Guys?"

"Uh—I'm not sure. I haven't really thought about it…"

"What?! You had to have masturbated before though, right?"

Carl blushes and looks away, "I have a few times, but I don't do it as often as other boys. I was too busy to think about stuff like that…"

Enid smacks his arm to lighten the mood, "Well, that's ok, we'll get you some new clothes, but also keep a look out for people you wanna fuck~"

Carl pouted. "Oh, C'mon! Leave me alone will ya!"

Upon entering the mall, Enid leads Carl right into an adult entertainment store, smiling wickedly. Carl blushes furiously, whisper shouting in Enid's ear, "Enid what are you doing!? We can't go in here, what if someone I know sees me!? This is way too risky!"

"Shhh relax Carl, we can pretend we're a young couple just looking to fun up our sex life~" Enid purrs right back into his ear.

Enid tugs on Carl's arm, latching on like a koala bear as they enter the store. She plays the part of a doting girlfriend well. Carl's shocked. He thinks she's gotta be popular with her clients if she gives them fake attention like this. Carl thinks he can learn a lot from her and her great acting skills.

After they pass the clerk, Enid drops her arms and pulls a straight face as she grabs a store basket, and starts throwing items in. She grabs some condoms, lube. Then she proceeds

further back. Carl follows behind, curious as to what she's looking for. Enid stops in front of a wall shelf containing various dildos.

"Ok, which one do you want?"

Carl's eyes widen as he whisper yells again, "What!? Why are you getting me one!? I'm a boy, dammit!"

"So? Boys can use them too you know, plus I have a feeling you'll like one of these toys a lot," Enid grins.

Enid picks up an average sized dildo, not too big, but not too small either, "I think this'll do for a first time toy. What do you think?"

She doesn't wait for Carl to answer, already throwing it in the basket before moving to another aisle. Carl huffs, blushing as he follows her yet again. Is she getting all this stuff just for him?

Enid stops in front of the lingerie section. Carl watches in horror as she puts in pair of netted stockings with a garter belt. Furthermore, she grabs a plaid skirt, and off the shoulder black long sleeve shirt, and finally a black lace collar. She puts all of this In the basket before turning to Carl.

"There, you can wear this. It fits your emo, grunge style while also actually being sexy. You're welcome." Carl wants to argue with her, but she interrupts him before he can, "Oh and one more thing!"

Enid walks around the corner of the aisle, grabs something, and comes back. She's carrying a simple pair of black heels with a belt that attaches at the ankle.

"Don't worry I didn't get you too big of a heel. I don't want you breaking an ankle on stage."

"I am not wearing any of—Wait on stage?"

"Yeah! Carol is gonna teach you how to dance on the pool! Soon you'll be dancing on stage in front of lots of clients—Before you start complaining, I'll have you know it's a very important skill you have to learn! Lots of men—and women—like to see a show before they have sex!"

"I don't give a fuck, I'm not dancing on a stage! That's so fucking embarrassing! I-I didn't sign up for any of this!"

"Wait Carl!"

Carl turns away from Enid, and makes a beeline for the exit. He just wants his old life back—the one before he found out all this incubus bullshit. The one where he got to see Judith everyday. Without realizing it, Carl feels a tear cascade down his cheek. He scoffs, ashamed of his weakness, he starts rubbing his eyes with the backs of his hands.

Not paying attention, Carl crashes into a large body. He feels himself about to fall backwards before the arms of a strong man wrap around him and pull him up.

"Hey kid, you ok?"

Carl's face flushes as he makes eye contact with the most handsome man he has ever seen in his life.

"...I-I'm—S-sorry sir! I didn't mean to crash into you…" Carl felt a surge of energy as he felt the man continue to hold him. God, was he this touch starved?

"No problem kiddo, but are you sure you're alright?" The man chuckles then. Carl feels his heart skip a beat.

"Uh y-yes I'm fine now, thank you!" Carl scratches his head as he looks away bashfully. God, Carl's never this awkward! Why is this man is making him so anxious!?

The beautiful man grins and pats Carl's shoulder before walking away. Carl made up his mind then, whoever that guy was... he wants him to be his first.

"Carl! There you are! I've been looking everywhere! Are you ok!?" Carl turns to see Enid running up behind him, bags in both of her hands.

Carl sighs, "Yeah, I'm ok… I'm sorry for running out like that…"

"It's fine! As long as you're ok… look, I'm sorry for being so insensitive… I forget how stressful all this change must be… and if you don't want to wear the outfit you don't have t—"

"No, I'm wearing the outfit."

"Ok, I understan—wait… what!?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna wear it, and tell Carol I want her to start giving me lessons tomorrow."

"Uh, ok! I'll let her know… umm why the sudden change of heart? ….Wait, you've found

someone haven't you?" Enid's signature grin pops up again, and Carl's glad to see it for once. He smiles back, "Yeah… but I never got his name..."

"Oh don't you worry about that." Enid winks.

According to Eddy Izzard, that’s the literal translation of JFK’s famous quote as he entered Berlin during the cold war. I don’t know if Mighty Matt McElroy or Matthew “The Gentleman Gamer” Dawkins issued a similar proclamation as they entered the city for last weekend’s PAX convention, but there they were anyway.

Now, it’s a Paradox Entertainment convention so it was really focused mostly on their electronic games – but Onyx Path was there representing the happy land of Tabletop Role-Playing Games. And from what the dynamic duo reported back, it was a fantastic chance to talk with all sorts of gamers – many of whom were unfamiliar with Onyx Path and/or TTRPGs.

What was really gratifying for our team was just how positive and friendly the attendees were. You never know, going to a new city or country for a con, just how the reception will be. Well, from what they said, it was fantastic! They were able to talk about our upcoming games, both V5 and upcoming White Wolf projects, and also there was a lot of interest in our other, non-WW game lines!

For those folks who did know about us, we had some sneak previews of upcoming V5 projects – some from the V5 Chicago By Night KS, and also the text from V5 Cults of the Blood Gods. So, a lot of excitement there! There was also a lot of interest from the Paradox/White Wolf team for us to run a Kickstarter for V5 Cults of the Blood Gods. Which is always nice to hear from the folks who are licensing you their properties!

In case it sounds like our crew were just there to hang out in our booth and chat, they also had the responsibility of representing Onyx Path in many meetings where the future of V5 and all the WW IPs was discussed. Again, this was an extremely positive experience for our duo, with just tons of ideas and possible projects coming out of those discussions!

Of course, being business meetings, there wasn’t anything I can share with you here, but I can say that the refocusing of White Wolf last year has seemed to have really altered how they are proceeding, and has borne fruit in a lot of new licensed projects folks are going to enjoy.

Mummy: The Curse 2nd Edition art by Brian LeBlanc

To switch gears slightly, but not totally as I did mention Kickstarters up above, we finished up the Deviant: The Renegades Kickstarter last week! Again, huge kudos to Eric Zawadzki for his nigh-constant efforts to answer everybody’s questions in the comments as the KS ran. He was indefatigable!

We’re pretty happy with how it turned out, and big thanks to all of your who backed and spread the word about this one! We hoped that running the Creature Collection at the same time wouldn’t collide our audiences too much, and it looks like both KSs ran just fine and without overwhelming potential backers.

We’re going to try to avoid running two KSs of similar size and that might have too large of an overlap of audiences, but we have so many cool projects and settings that folks want to see Kickstarted that they’ve been backing up until now. Now, we’re going to try and use our two KS accounts to give both us and all of you the flexibility to put a project on Kickstarter as we need to and when it makes sense to.

We have, as many folks have pointed our previously, an embarrassment of riches when it comes to our projects, which really starts with the large number of game lines we are always working on.

VtR 2e Spilled Blood art by Andrea Payne

Of course, that goes all the way back to when Onyx Path first started with the WW licenses. We didn’t just get the licenses to one of the WoD lines or CofD lines, we took on the responsibility of shepherding all the existing lines and on bringing forth new ones if that what was needed.

Plus, we brought over other WW game lines, and one of those (cough, Trinity Continuum, cough) had multiple lines within it as well. We took, and still take, those responsibilities seriously as we know that every line has dedicated, long-term, fans that truly love it.

It is a real juggling act, and we’ve tried to provide every game line, every setting, with a new project and the spotlight at least once, regardless of the number of fans, over these past 7-8 years. And the flip side is that we are actually a business, we need projects that sell more than what it cost to make them – if only so everybody we work with keeps being able to afford to keep on making TTRPGs.

So those projects that sell well get follow-up projects, and those are usually within a single line, and so that line gets more focus. Which is one of reasons I’ve pushed for cross-line projects like the Night Horrors books, the Dark Eras books, or even the Contagion Chronicle, for Chronicles of Darkness (our biggest umbrella line).

Helnau’s Guide to Wasteland Beasties art by Michele Giorgi

Which is why our brochure this year, which is days away from going to press, is set up to talk about each setting, each game line, rather than trying to push for particular projects within the lines. We’ll do that with con-specific flyers at the conventions we’re attending, and news on all our social media sites, but we’re going to have the brochure there as a primer on just which game lines we’re doing right now.

We think that we’re at the point where we need that info out there where folks can reference it and compare and contrast our:

Well, since there are a few hours left before the arrival of Lover and since I don't use this social network so much, I've decided to analyze the titles of the songs that appear in this shirt of Taylor's collaboration with Stella ❤ The idea is that you can also comment on it, what you feel or what you think about it!! Let's get started:

1. I FORGOT THAT YOU EXISTED: Good way to start Taylor (hahaha); I only imagine a way to forget that a person existed in a bad way (sorry if it's not) but although the letter used is thick and bold but it has a white shadow & I don't notice hate in it and that confuses me a little & then I wonder... is there a way to forget that a person existed in a good way? Like a reunion or like to see a person again but with different eyes. Sorry Taylor, the first song it's confusing ☯ now I'm 50/50.

2. CRUEL SUMMER: I think I have a problem with the evil in songs but the “cruel” word can't take me to another place. I think that when something/someone makes you suffer the “cruel” word describes it in a wonderful way &Taylor has suffered this last time and has had to go through many bad things in such a short time, maybe this song is about this things. I also think that (as say all those armed phrases that go around there) the suffering makes us stronger & although it's not nice or good or pleasant to suffer it, in the end when you look back it feels that you could overcome it and that thanks to this today it you're stronger.

3. LOVER: Finally a love song ❤ I have a weakness for love songs (I can't control it) they are always my favorite songs in all the albums of the artists I like. I can't say much about the font used to write this title since it is also the album title!! I think that the typeface and the pink color with glitter all lead us to a place of love and magic & so I hope that this is Taylor's heart today, full of love & magic because she really deserves it.

4. THE MAN: I read a little about this song in the interview Taylor gave & I think that using a very thick, very black & very large font fits perfectly with the theme the song is referring to. Nowadays the issue of feminism (or machism) is very present in our society & precisely I think this song refers to life and the things that women do & are frowned upon by them, but not if they were men (I think if Taylor were a man, nobody would say he only writes songs about his ex).

5. THE ARCHER: First I have to say that I liked more the calligraphy that has the title in the lyric video that in is t-shirt ➳ Now, I think the title of this song is highlighted with that black background and large white letters. I think this may want to mark a break, since in this song Taylor shows her insecurities when it comes to being in a love relationship & now she seems to be happly in love & that all these doubts were left behind.

6. I THINK HE NOWS: This title is inscribed in an ordinary font, high, fine & black... and that's when I wonder what do you think he knows? Do you think he knows you hate him? Do you think he knows you're trying to end things with him? (sorry, I have to start with the bad things first) ❤ Do you think he knows that you are interested in him? Do you think he knows that you love him in secret? Do you think he knows you have wanted him for a long time? I hope that what you think he knows is one of the good things hahaha.

7. MISS AMERICANA & THE HEARTBREAK PRINCE: This song has a title written in a cursive font, as if it were handwritten & for that I feel that this song is one of the most powerful of the album ✎ Also I heard that this song is the favorite of many of those who were present in the secret sessions and that makes me unable to wait to hear it!!! The title of this song leads me directly to imagine one of those love movies that I like so much (I don't know why but I immediately imagine Hilary Duff & Chad Michael Murray in “a Cinderella story”). I also know that "Miss Americana" is the beauty contest that has been held in the USA for so many years & with “the heartbreak prince” I'm going to the movie idea again (sorry, I have to stop watching Netflix) ♚

8. PAPER RINGS: The letter used for this title seems sophisticated and well finished with straight edges but I think that a paper ring is not exactly something sophisticated. When we read the word "ring" we automatically think about marriage, that Taylor is engaged or that she is thinking about getting married... wait WHAT IF SHE ALREADY DID IT? ∞ I think paper rings can be something symbolic, like the wire rings we used as children when we played to get married but that could mean a lot more than a diamond ring that costs thousands of dollars. I HOPE THIS IS A LOVE SONG ❤

9. CORNELIA ST: We are freaking out with this song and the idea that Taylor told us about this song in the New Year this year. In that image & in the source used to write this title you can specify see different characters called “childhood heroes” by Taylor, it can be a song about heroes ★ I also read out there that Taylor has had "Cornelia St" present throughout her life in different stages and perhaps this could be a song that runs through her life, the goods & the bads.

10. DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS: Let's go back to the bad things and moments... The letter used is very thick, black and you can see some scratches on it. I think that the idea of "a thousand" can mean something that wears out or breaks from puncturing it or trying to break it, it can be a thing but it can also be a person. In the case of a person, it could represent the wear and tear of trying to refloat after all the moments in which they tried to undo him/her. The word "dead" can refer to that content of always being swimming against the current ☁

11. LONDON BOY: The letter used for this title seems to be distorted or moved and that confuses me a little bit but Hello Joe Alwyn (?) I am honestly confused, I just hope (as always) that this is another love song ❤

12. SOON YOU'LL GET BETTER: And here's when my heart breaks into a thousand pieces & it doesn't matter the letter or the thickness or the color... I read that Taylor wrote this song for his mother Andrea who is going through that damn disease again. My grandparent suffered it, I know what it feels like & what it means to have appeared again... with it the doubts and insecurities return, we feel weak & broken. My story ends with a happy ending & I'm sure Andrea's too ❤ both are extraordinarily strong!

13. FALSE GOD: Bad bad bad & bad again. I think that many times we can called "God" a person that we believe represents everything good, beautiful & generous in this world, as the person who comes to save us... but then we have the word "false" accompanying "God" & that is when everything stops being good, nice and generous & becomes bad and disappointing ✘ This song could be about a disappointment of a person whom Taylor thought was different.

14. YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN: Well, I have already heard this song and that is why I can say that this type of font adapts very well to the rhythm & style of the song. It is also a typeface that is being used a lot lately since it is fashionable vintage and old.

15. AFTERGLOW: I didn't know exactly what this word meant so I had to go to a dictionary and found different definitions.. I found something about the twilight glow; something about a pleasant sensation; and something about drugs and sex.. so I'm confused! haha. Of these three definitions I prefer to choose the second one & that this song is about a sensation of pleasure or well-being, either with another person or with myself, the sensation of being well, complete, in the place that we choose and surrounded by people that we choose and who choose us too ☮

16. ME!: Two lyrics and nothing else to say, it is a special song with the right energy to present a new album... It catches you with its rhythm and its lyrics ✿ And then you can only think of speaking in French, butterflies, cats and pastel colors!!

17. IT'S NICE TO HAVE A FRIEND: but that typeface does not make me think that that friend who is good to have is exactly a good friend!!! Since I saw it I associated it with a letter she would use on Halloween, sorry if it's not. I don't want to make Taylor's friends feel bad if she wrote them a beautiful song (and I hope it is).

18. DAYLIGHT: This song is the longest on the album, which means that Taylor had many things to say on it. The letter used is large, thick & black, very visible... clearly it's one of the first words that can be read when you are looking at the image so I feel that this song is very special and meaningful to her. And I think it's like seeing the light of the day after a black night, see the good, the beautiful, the important things. Be able to see everything clearly despite not being able to see good things for a while!!

What do you think of my ideas? Do you share any of them? I want to know it.

Thanks for reading! Please help me reblogging it ❤
